Linux

Heavily considering it.

9front welcomes you. The resistance grows.

I like how TouchHLE has a poisoned AGENTS.md file. Somebody should sneak in a PR that creates something like this

That blog post is based on a study that also said:

We conclude that while context files are useful for specifying non-standard coding practices, any attempts to improve performance should be rigorously evaluated before deployment

The kernel project has some particular conventions and workflows, so I think in this case it may make sense.

This is a load of shit. AGENTS.md is just a rules file for a repo like anything else. Properly-written rules files give good direction into how to interact with a project. If you don't think it's being read, ask the agent, and figure out why.

Far too many of these LLM articles are:

1. I did the thing
2. The thing didn't work for me
3. Pretend it's a hyper-scientific experiment and write an article about it
4. Declare X is shit because my version of X is shit, or because most people don't know how to make X.

You don't do the thing and pretend the first draft is going to work perfectly. You iterate, ask the agent directly why it didn't work or what kind of improvements could be made, and improve the process.

Most of the time when I'm running through a repetitive process with a skill, I ask, "hey, what pitfalls did we learn from this process and how can we improve this skill?" Boom, iteration.

Also, Pivot-to-AI is just some guy's anti-AI blog site. He does the same shit on YouTube.

Coworkers have been adding these to our projects and I have noticed no difference in the usefullness of LLMs, so I suppose it's nice to be validated.

Most things are only inevitable if accepted. Human history is plagued with things that never should have been considered, let alone accepted.

Laziest attitude. An excuse to just comply and conform. If it's something you oppose, then fucking oppose it. Your expression of apathy is what most people do, but plenty don't really want to. Then grow a spine. No offense with my hyperbole.

apparently this is too hard a concept for a lot of people on here to wrap their heads around

If at this point every major codebase is using AI for development, and AI is unavoidable, might as well embrace it on your own terms.

Why? People use linux even though windows seems unavoidable, people use privacy respecting messaging services when everyone says to contact them on whatsapp, so many people use reddit, barely anybody uses lemmy

If you cant completely avoid something, should you just give up on trying at all?

Why are people giving something that is ruining the internet, politics, learning, the environment, jobs, art, mental health so much leniency

AIDS is inevitable and is here to stay, should we all get it?

What this feels like to me is documentation that should have always been present for all the developers on "the team", but now that the developers are AI agents they have the bandwidth to be able to write that documentation instead of just shipping the pull request with a terse "it works, check the tests." note.

As a human developer, I never had the patience to write really good documenation AND keep it in sync with the project as the code evolved through development. I have written good prospective documentation, I have written decent retrospective documentation, but keeping either in sync with the implementation as the implementation evolves during maintenance is a heavy burden - one that LLM agents do without complaint. Yeah, they're less than perfect, so are the humans on the teams. As long as additional passes invested in making things self consistent are consistently improving the state of things, I'm fine with telling the agent "take another pass at making the documentation consistent with the implementation while I go to this meeting..."

No. That’s how consent works.

They should have an AGENTS.md that just says (see README)
